The
reduction of high population growth rates and death rates
in Asia and the Pacific has been a major achievement of cooperation
among national governments, the international community and
NGOs. UNESCAP has contributed to that success by providing
technical assistance to national population programmes, conducting
research, exchanging information and setting regional goals |

Fifth Asian
and Pacific Population Conference
The theme selected for the Fifth Asian and Pacific Population
Conference was "Population and Poverty in Asia and the
Pacific". While many countries have been able to reduce
fertility and improve the overall quality of life of the population,
poverty still persists in many countries and has increased
in some countries, particularly since the 1997/98 Asian financial
crisis. |
